karenholmes 's review for:
Of Jade and Dragons
by Amber Chen
I probably wouldn't have read this one if it wasn't the Illumicrate pick for June, but I'm glad I did. It was a fun read, quick paced and a nice twist on a Mulan retelling. Instead of going to work, she goes to the Engenieer Guild to investigate the muder of her dad. Dresses as a boy, as girls travelling alone might lead to a more dangerous journey she finds her way into the Guild but things only turn and turn with what news she gets.
The characters were a bit cardboard at the beginning but at some point they get some fleshing out. It was interesting to know the boys at the academy. And I for sure, root for ye-kan he was so much fun!
It is a nice debut and I'm willing to read the second one.
